Truth or Dare

I just finished freshening up and drying my hair now. My phone rang and I see that it's Charlie, I didn't answer it since it's useless talking to him. Later on it rings again and when I check it it's Aira. I'm sure she just called to gossip.

OTP

"Hey bes! Are you home? Any news?" Aira said.

"My god don't start. You know what I shouldn't have followed your advice."

"Why? What happened?!"

"So at first, everything's doing fine, we ate. Blah blah blah. Then suddenly some dudes ask Charlie to come in this Bar that they're talking about. After that it's like someone's chasing him, he ate in a hurry and didn't even bother to take me home." The annoyance was obvious in the tone of my voice.

"For real?? That was disappointing."

"It's beyond disappointing Aira, so could you please---"I stopped talking when someone knocked on the door. "Who is that?" I said goodbye to Aira as soon as I opened the door. And there I saw Nate holding two bottles of beer. "Wow! Prepared."

We decided to talk here in the room instead of downstairs. We also had France cook sisig, fries and Barbecue. When everything was completed, we started our drinking session. We sat on the carpet and I played a mellow music so that we can feel as if we're at the Bar.

"So that's what happened. Who would be happy about that right? You've just been left alone." I rant to Nate.

"That's kind of off, how did you know him? Suitor or Ex?" Nate asked.

"Yes, and I was really turn off by what he did. Not proud of it but he's my ex. If it's not because of his face I wouldn't like him in the first place. But later on I realize that he was shallow and childish.

"I see, so after him you never had a boyfriend?"

"There were flings but I did not let it to reach the relationship stage. I don't know why but guys are getting worse. All they have is a handsome face, wealth, swag but have no sense. I didn't meet yet the one that has connection."

"Oh, didn't know you're as deep as that. I still believe that there still good guys out there. You just need to wait."

"I guess...by the way Nate, I have a question?"

"Sure, what is it?"

"Do you, do you like my sister?

Nate was surprise and almost got choked by my question and then he laughed. I don't know if I will be upset because I'm serious with my question or I'll just laugh at her.

"Why did you ask that Monica?" Nate ask while wiping the tears in her eyes because of too much laughing.

"Can you please stop laughing, it irritates me." I said after I throw a pillow at her.

"Okay, I'll stop now." She bits her inner cheek to stop herself from laughing. "But where did you get that idea? Megan is just like a sister to me", she answered.

"Good question. So first you're so sweet to her and you're very gentleman and caring to my sister."

"Ohh, that? I'm doing it because I want Meg to get used to how she should be treated. I want her to know that woman should be treated that way so that she will not settle with some random dude who can't treat her right."

"Woah! Now I understand. I thought you like my sister, I mean I thought you had something." I just laughed when I heard her explanation. I noticed that Nate hadn't finished the beer he was holding. I'm drinking my 4th bottle now and there she is still drinking her first bottle. I think she's cheating on me.

"Hey Nate I notice something." I glared at her. "You're still on your first bottle, are you making me drunk?"

"Oh sorry I didn't notice I was too focused on our conversation." Nate says then smile at me. Tss, stop smiling I might believe you. I told myself.

Out of boredom, it suddenly occurred to me to add a little twist to our drinking session. I told Nate that we switch from Beer to Emperador. And we will play some sort of a game like "Never Have I Ever", but the rules will be kind of different. We will ask each other a question if we want to answer then go, but if not we will drink a shot. Whoever avoided the question and take the shot thrice will be the loser. And it has consequences.

"Okay Nate game!" we played Jack En Poy to find out who would be the first to ask. And because I'm pretty, I won. Nahh just kidding.

"First question, have you ever had a boyfriend?" Nate and I burst out laughing knowing the fact that she's a lesbian not Bisexual.

"To answer your question, yes I had a boyfriend in high school." I was too stunned to speak. I can't believe what I just heard. I didn't expect her to had a boyfriend. I thought she is a lesbian based on my sister's story.

"What's with your reaction? Do you think it's impossible for me to have a boyfriend?"

"No, that not what I meant, I'm sure you're pretty when you have long hair and dress like a girl." I teased her. "Go on it's your turn."

"Hmmmmm," she held her chin as if she's really thinking about what to ask. "Why did you break up with Charlie?"

"Oh, I didn't expect that one. So no one cheated on us, it's just that I realized that he is immature and don't know how to act properly as a boyfriend."

"Ahh, so you can still go back to each other? No one cheated right?"

"Hey! One question only!" I scolded her. "My next question is; have you experience wild things such as threesome?"

"What??!!" Her reaction is really funny. But I got shocked when she suddenly drank the alcohol from the shot glass. What the heck! Even though she didn't answer, but because she takes the shot she already confirmed my question. I can't determine if she's just teasing or if she's telling the truth.

"Seriously Nate??!! Oh my fucking god!! Nate threw a pillow at me while laughing. "For real Nate? So how was it? I teased her.

"Oppppss! No, one question only. My turn. Have you ever had a one-night stand?"

"YES"

"Woahhh! Brave soul!

"Of course!" I brag at her.

"Oh okay so you're that brave. Hang on let me call your sister. Hey Meg guess what---", I thought she's just joking but I heard Meg says Hello. I quickly ran to her and tried to wrestle with her phone. It's hard for me since she's much stronger and has long arms, a few more push and pull and I got the phone and end the call immediately.

"You're so naughty Nate, I told you to end the call. You're annoying" I said then I pinch her. She then squeezes my cheeks, I tickled her on both side as my revenge. A little more teasing and I stopped, I didn't notice that I was on top of her.

"Oh! I'm sorry," I stood up right away and returned the phone to him. "Come on, let's go back to the question and answer portion." He just laughed and we sat down on the carpet again. "My turn again, how many girlfriends you had?"

"Zero"

"HA-HA-HA, No way Nate. I don't believe you."

"Shhhh... one question only remember?" She stuck out her tongue to annoy me. "How many boyfriends youuu had?

"Ahm, 3 official and 3 so-so boyfriends."

"What so-so do you mean?"

"So-so like not official. My turn, my turn. Why you never had a girlfriend?"

"Well, that is because I fell in love with a girl when I was in high school and I can't still move on until now."

I felt mixture of pity and shock. I didn't know that there are still people who love as pure as Nate. I just looked at her while she drank the beer that had lost its coolness. She looks at me and I see her teary eyes that cannot be covered with her fake smile.

"Okay, my turn. What is your ideal type?"

"Ideal type. Hmmm. I want someone who's genuine, kind, soft-spoken and someone who will take care of me and our relationship." I just answered her directly to pretend I didn't notice that he was a bit tearful earlier.

"So what is the name of the lucky girl? The one you're crazy about? I search on Facebook quickly, what's her name come on." I was so excited while swiping on Facebook but I was annoyed when he takes the shot again. Grrrrr! She's so mean I just wanted to know. I frowned and reminder her that she already takes the shot twice, if it reaches the third time we will do the truth or dare.

"I won't make it to three so don't worry. So Monica, remember that time when you saw me naked in the CR, what was the first thing that come to your mind that time?" She looks at me, and then she smirks while raising her eyebrows. I'm not sure if it's because of the alcohol or because of her question, that my body suddenly got hot and my cheeks turned red. I just chose to drink the alcohol instead of answering her question. I avoid her gaze and that makes her laugh. Tsk! Annoying!

"Yeah! One point two to go!"

"Shut up! My turn... what makes you turn on?" Huh! You will not beat me Nate. It's funny that she's looking at the shot glass and contemplating if she will take it or just answer my question. She looked at me and was about to answer but suddenly change her mind. She chose to us drink and that makes me a winner!! I stood up and dance because of happiness.

"So Nate Truth or Dare?" Luckily she chose dare.

I felt a little bit dizzy, I looked at Nate who is waiting for what I will tell her to do. I noticed her lips turning pinkish because of the coldness of beer. I don't know what this unfamiliar feeling that I'm feeling right now. Is it because of alcohol? Is it because of the sensual song playing on the background? Or is it because of her?

I held her chin and looked her in the eyes. I question myself for a second... what the hell am I doing right now? This person in front of me is a woman... a woman... like me. I tried my best to think straight, but words came out of my mouth before I knew it.

"Nate, I dare you to kiss me."
